Fiat Sedici (2009)
2009 Fiat Sedici
CarHunch analysed 294 real MOT records for the 2009 Fiat Sedici. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2009 Fiat Sedici falls short of the UK average with a 75.2% first-time pass rate, and this is a genuine concern: 44.2% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history, well above acceptable levels for a buyer considering one. Petrol and diesel variants perform similarly (75.7% and 74.4% respectively), so fuel type won't improve your odds.
These cars are averaging 63,135 miles for their age, which is reasonable, but the real red flag is the sheer number of problems: owners face an average of 4.18 failures and 26.5 advisories per test, suggesting chronic issues rather than isolated wear items. If you're seriously considering a 2009 Sedici, get a full pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic familiar with the model, and factor in above-average repair costs.
What to check before buying a 2009 Fiat Sedici
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 44.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
